Reviews and Ratings
I had a pleasant stay at the hotel, with clean and spacious rooms, friendly and accommodating staff, and a great central location near Chinatown for exploring the city. However, the dining experience was a bit mixed with some room for improvement.
I was pleasantly surprised by the rooms, which exceeded my expectations with their cleanliness and comfort. The staff were extremely helpful and friendly, ensuring a great stay. However, I was a bit let down by the uncleaned room and maintenance issues in the bathroom.
The hotel has clean and spacious rooms with a comfortable bed, though the noise from delivery trucks at 4 am could be disruptive. The service was excellent, especially for special occasions like birthdays, and the staff were friendly and attentive. The central location makes it convenient for exploring the city, but issues with vegan options and dining service were noted. The dining experience was lacking variety and promptness. Overall, a good choice with some room for improvement in dining facilities.
The hotel had modern AV equipment and brilliant refreshments in the rooms, but the cleanliness was lacking. The breakfast was excellent though the cutlery and dishes needed better attention. The staff were friendly and polite, but the overall value for the price paid was not satisfactory.
The hotel offers amazing rooms, so comfy and stylish, with convenient features like smart glass in the walk-in shower/toilet. However, there was a slight delay in check-in as housekeeping was finalizing the room preparation. The location is central and convenient, but breakfast was not provided. Dining met expectations with good quality and variety, and the facilities were well-kept.
The hotel provided spotless rooms with lovely soap and hand cream, though a water bottle left by a previous guest was disappointing. The rooms were comfortable, spacious, and modern, ideal for families. The service was polite, helpful, and quick to assist, with only a minor mishap of premature plate clearing. The central location was convenient for exploring, although not perfect for all guests. The dining experience offered good quality but slightly cold dishes, with room for improvement in pricing. Overall, a great value stay with friendly staff and ample facilities.
The hotel is ideally located close to the Christmas markets and the train station, making it a perfect base for exploring Manchester city center. I enjoyed the quality and modernity of the room and the helpfulness of the staff. However, the room's small size and lack of a sink were slight drawbacks.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were incredibly small, making it quite inconvenient to move around, but I enjoyed my time with my family. The service was lacking, especially when it came to requests for assistance and flexibility on changing our booking. The location was a mix of bustling streets and a pleasant walkable city center. The hotel's dining options were top-notch, with exceptional quality and freshness in the offerings.
My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant overall. The rooms were very spacious, comfortable, and clean, making for a relaxing sleep. However, the rooms were extremely hot, which was a bit uncomfortable for the children. The service provided was a mix of snooty attitude, but also cheerful and helpful interactions. The location was central for exploring Manchester, and the dining options were varied and delicious. The facilities were generally good but had some minor drawbacks.
My stay at the hotel was a bit mixed - the room was modern and comfortable with a comfy bed, but it was still dirty. Despite that, I found it different from what my family members had, as mine had a mirror in the main area. The service was a bit of a rollercoaster as well - while some staff members were extremely helpful and friendly, others were not very welcoming and failed to inform me about the voucher needed for discounted parking. The location, on the other hand, was great for the Manchester 10k, being right on the start line and close to the city center and railway station. The dining options were good and varied, although some felt they were not worth the price. Overall, my experience at the hotel had its ups and downs.
The hotel rooms were generally really good with a high standard of comfort, although they could have been a little cleaner in places. The service was excellent, particularly in the bar area, but there were some instances where the staff were not readily available. The location was central to many venues, making it convenient for exploring the area, despite some noise issues from rowdy guests. The dining options were varied with a good selection available, including vegetarian and vegan dishes. Overall, a pleasant stay with a few minor drawbacks.
The hotel has a great location, near Chinatown and other areas, with comfy rooms but the shower room was too warm at night. The service was friendly overall but lacked cleanliness and maintenance. The dining options were average with a good variety but not the best quality. The location is fantastic for exploring the city, but the service and room conditions were subpar.
